WGBH Video Usage

I think this website would be very useful to me as a classroom teacher. If all schools are using the iTune web videos and have the projectors connected to the computers like the professors use at USA, I believe the students would enjoy the videos. The videos are easily accessible and are not that long. I have found that they are more interesting than the videos that comes with text books, are the ones teachers have to check out from the library.

The video I watched was about life science. The video was describing what happens in blood vessels and ways they work with the body in fighting off cancer or other types of diseases. The video was colorful and the man that was narrating was not gloomy and boring while he was talking. Even if students are absent and I have a class blog, I could provide the name of the video we watched in class and they could write a little report for me about the video. I plan to use the iTune videos as instructional methods when I become a teacher.
